Dear Bayley , you and your friends are superb! You arrived without a car and despite the consequent inconveniences you have managed to enjoy the beauty of this place. You are very autonomous girls. I sent you the phone number of taxis available in the area, but very difficult to reach during the day, but I was expecting requests for help. But you managed on your own... Well done and thank you for coming
This property was beautifully situated with an amazing view of the lake, two comfortable bedrooms and a very generous welcome basket including Prosecco and other tasty treats.

Thank you Carolyn for your words. We chose a photograph of the balcony view as the first image of the listing because we think this is the most important feature of the house. That doesn't mean we don't consider the other less important features, but we're really proud of them. Thank you for coming
The view and location are superb. The downstairs shower is difficult to use, but overall, we really enjoyed our time there.

Thank you Craig for taking the time to review your stay. The view and the location are for sure the most appealing features of this property for persons who appreciate being isolated from the crowd. No stores, restaurants or cafes but a small beach and sunsets to bring back nice memories. I am sorry for the downstairs shower. That's a converted tub that is used by some persons during rainy days to relax and I am very torn about replacing it but I will think about it. Thank you again
Quiet and relaxing place in beautiful location. The place was extremely clean with everything you needed to enjoy your stay in Limonta! Will be rebooking next time we are back in the area

Great location. Great view. Excellent facilities. Amazing host. Very private. 5 minutes easy walk to the beach. 5 minutes drive to Bellagio.
This place was more than we expected! Quiet, beautiful, roomy, and comfortable. There’s even a ferry stop pretty much steps away (not a frequent one, but you can plan ahead with the schedule). Communication with Carla and Erica was outstanding. They both helped immensely on everything from check-in to directions to ferry and bus schedules. And the boat trip! If you have the chance to a boat tour with Carla and Carlos’ company - absolutely do it! It was the highlight of our trip. I’m actually thinking about coming back with my dad to do it all again!
We stayed at Carlo’s place with another couple to explore Lake Como. It was wonderfully set up with all things needed for an apartment self catering stay with a stunning view across the north eastern wing of the lake in Limonta and only a short drive into Bellagio. A welcome pack of nibbles and provisions were a lovely surprise on arrival. Parking was secure and within the apartment grounds which in this part of Italy is a must.
I would recommend as a lovely place to stay if you have your own transport and enjoy waking up to beautiful vistas without the crowds and their noise

Thank you Donna for your words of appreciation, they encapsulate all our efforts to make our guests' stay full of beautiful memories. Thank you again for choosing us
The apartment is in a perfect location and the check in process was easy. The parking is also extremely convenient. The only complaint is the cleanliness. There is an overpowering odor of cats and the ants are an issue. After we cleaned, it helped control the ants but the place needs a good overall deep cleaning.

Every spring ants wake up and since the property is completely surrounded by gardens it is very possible that they look for food or water. Please do not leave any food or drinks outside. We always place ants traps to prevent them but with food and drinks they may show up anyway.
Please do not waste your vacation time cleaning the property , that's our responsability. When we welcome you and you say "Whaooo" we do not call you in order to be descreet and not bother you since we assume you are happy about the property.....but will hurry up to help and let you spend the vacation you had planned if you let us know that there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Please call before leaving the property to get help.
Beautiful views, lovely to have morning coffee out on the balcony overlooking the lake. The welcome basket of food/snacks was appreciated as I had a long day of driving to get here and didn’t feel like going into town to find a restaurant the first evening. Very comfortable and clean. A little unusual to be asked to take out trash but I did upon departure (didn’t have much anyway). American style coffee maker and coffee was nice! Accommodated my later than expected arrival time with alternative check in. Carla provided helpful hiking, biking and restaurant options too! Enjoyed my stay and would love to return!

Thank you Jill for your nice review. You are a very independent woman and a perfect host. Reactive in communicating and very tidy. Thank you for the opportunity you give me to talk about the request we make to throw out the garbage, even if it is necessary to drive toward Bellagio. Unfortunately, not everyone stays so short and very often the house is occupied by 4-5 people. We often find up to 5 large bags of very heavy garbage if there are up to 10 glass bottles inside. We also find diapers and other things that make it impossible to load them onto the public transportation that the cleaning lady takes to get home. Leaving the property in good condition is a gesture of respect that everyone deserves, but when renting a house, instead of a hotel, you must be a little proactive. Asking to turn on the dishwasher and throw away your own garbage is very common in this area. Thank you again for coming, we appreciate guest as you are
Bien situé a 7 minutes en voiture de BellagioVue Magnifique sur le lac de ComeFacilite de communiquer avec la propriétaire et avec MatteoOn était une famille de 4 adultes PR
Très bel appartement, très propre et bien équipé. Beaucoup de charmantes attentions de notre hôte: nécessaire pour le souper et le déjeuner avec une bouteille de vin. Souplesse pour l’arrivée.Vue magnifique sur le lac. Attention, plusieurs marches pour arriver à l’appartement et escalier en colimaçon étroit pour atteindre la deuxième chambre à l’étage.

Agréable séjour en famille
Appartement très bien équipé avec très jolie vue sur le lac. Très calme. Bonne literie. Petit bémol: Evacuation des poubelles pas très aisée et accès à l’appartement via 2 étages (À préciser dans l’annonce)
Unsere erste Urlaubswoche verbrachten wir in Limonta und am Comer See. Das Quartier war ausgezeichnet geeignet: Sehr gute Betten, traumhafter Blick vom Balkon, sogar bei leichtem Regen und eine voll ausgestattete Küche, in der wir gerne zusammen gekocht haben. Durch die Klimaanlage konnten wir auch bei tropischen Temperaturen gut schlafen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist ein Spaziergang ins Obere Limonta über die kleinen Wege, die man fast nicht sieht. Für weitere Spaziergänge sollte man allerdings mit dem Auto in die größeren Städte fahren. Die Fähranbindung (ohne Auto) nach Bellagio/Lecco ist zwar vorhanden, aber teuer und dauert lange. Mit dem Auto sind beide Städte gut erreichbar, wenn auch auf engen Straßen. Das Bellagio Retreat ist ein guter Ausgangsort, um den See zu erkunden. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist auch ein Bad im See, gleich neben dem Fähranleger.
Danke Carla für die unkomplizierte Kommunikation und die wertvollen Tipps bei der durch ein Unwetter gesperrten Straße! Wir empfehlen das Bellagio Retreat gerne weiter!
We went as a couple omfor our anniversary. What a beautiful view. Somewhat restricted by trees, but nonetheless gorgeous. A couple minutes walk to the ferry in Limonta. Just one stop over to Bellagio. Hated home, parking available. The property manager was helpful, polite and punctual to meet us.
Great if you have a family with amenities for kids.
Taxis are pretty rare in September, so you need a car or use of ferry as there's no dining in town.
Enjoy it , we did!!
We stayed with our sweet 4 year old and almost 2 year old. Stunning view from balcony to enjoy while sipping wine at sunset. Well appointed for kids with pack and play/high chair and baby gates. There is a tricky staircase for kids, but it has a baby safety gate.
Very easy to get in and out of Bellagio by boat, bus or ferry. You do need to change at Bellagio to go to most other places on the lake.
Welcome food basket and Prosecco waited for us at Carla’s place. 2 bathrooms a big plus even for just 3 people. We were able to cook light meals - oil, salt and peppers all provided by host. Beautiful views both up and downstairs but the balcony is amazing. A car is recommmended getting into Bellagio though bus/ferry is available but we never tried, very short walk to both. Upstairs is a loft with slanted ceilings so watch your head. Washing machine and parking space make it very convenient for travelers. We thoufroufhly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Carla.
